Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dipped-beam headlamp with a reflective pivot segment in the region of the reflector edge.
  • Another object of the invention is to increase the luminous efficacy of the pivoting segment.
  • the invention provides that at least one zone is provided on a generally parabolic reflector, which forms in horizontal section at least approximately a part of an ellipse in one focal point is a light source and their other focus on the surface of a vertical axis pivotable pivoting segment is located.
  • the height of the zone with elliptical horizontal section corresponds approximately to the height of the pivoting segment.
  • pivoting segment is a separate component from the reflector.
  • the elliptical area is tuned to the pivot segment, that in the Nulischwenk ein the Swivel segment near edge beam of the ellipse area parallel to the optical axis and in the maximum pivot position of the schwenksegmentfeme edge beam of the ellipse area at right angles to the optical axis.
  • the pivoting segment can be planar or have a curved surface as well as scattering elements, in particular vertical grooves.
  • the actuation of the pivoting segment is not restricted and may be e.g. mechanically, hydraulically or preferably electronically via sensors and processors, which primarily detect the curve radius.
  • Figure 1 is a horizontal section in the plane of the lamp through a light collecting reflector / pivoting segment combination and Figures 2 to 4 show its practical realization, in which Figure 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view Fig. 3 is a front view and Fig. 4 is a horizontal section of the corresponding combination headlamp insert is from which an automatic headlamp leveling shows.
  • a horizontal portion AB of a generally parabolic in horizontal section reflector is formed as a section of an ellipse, in one focal point of the associated lamp L and in the other focal point a reflective, about a vertical axis 12 pivotable pivot segment 14 is arranged.
  • the reflector has, so to speak, two floors as well as steps and transitions from the parabolic area to the ellipse area.
  • the marginal rays relating to the starting point A and the end point B of the ellipse region are related to a zero position and a maximum deflection position of the Swivel segments 14 located.
  • the zero position of the end point B is shown parallel to the optical axis OA, the light beam ⁇ lights more in the direction of travel.
  • the maximum deflection position the starting point A is imaged at right angles to the optical axis OA, the light beam ⁇ lights up more to the side.
  • a range of 90 ° can thus be illuminated in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the pivoting angle of the pivoting segment 14 can be selected as desired.
  • the floor with elliptical horizontal section thus aims at the pivot segment 14, the parabolic area gives the basic light distribution and the transition zones, which in the horizontal section of Fig. 1, the curve sections AC and BD serve the closed appearance of the reflector for the viewer.
  • the height of the area with elliptical horizontal section can be chosen so that the parabolic surface makes up about 2/3 of the reflector surface, as well as the elliptical area plus the transition zones the rest. This would for a H7 lamp a luminous flux distribution Parabolic area: ellipse area: transition area of 400: 150: 50 result.
  • the vertical section results in open spaces.
  • the basic structure of the vehicle lighting unit shown in FIGS. 2-4 is as follows: A provided with retaining tabs 2 frame 1 carries a cover 3 and has in the turn signal area on a rear wall 4, in which the socket for the turn signal is freely accessible. Furthermore, the frame 1 has two windows 5, behind which a double headlamp unit 6 is arranged, which is pivotable relative to a support bracket 7 of the frame 1.
  • the support bracket 7 has a ball head bearing 8, about which the double headlight unit 6 is pivotable, for which purpose a sliding pin drive 9 is mounted on the support bracket 7, which engages via a ball and socket connection 10 on the double headlight unit 6. In this way, automated headlight range adjustment can be carried out in the usual way. (Of the third pivot point is arranged laterally on the double headlamp unit 6 and not shown).
  • the double headlight unit 6 is connected via a sealing bellows 11 made of elastomeric material with the frame 1 and has no rear cover, so that the sockets for the respective lamps are directly accessible. This offers over previous designs a much reduced space requirements and greatly improved ease of use and greatly improved sauceabstrahlschkeit.
  • a drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the double headlight unit 6, which can pivot about a pinion 16 in the auxiliary reflector segment 14 about an axis 12 in the Abstrahlweg of the Abblertztreflektors 13, which serves to illuminate the inside curve apron.
